So these are the movies I definitely have tickets to so far. You should get one too and come join me so I’m not that guy sitting alone wishing my friends were more into obscure films.
I’m volunteering Monday (FUBAR), Tuesday (Howl) and Thursday evenings at the Plaza—so come say hi if you happen to be there too.
Finally, despite my thinking the line-up at CIFF this year kinda sucks—I couldn’t even make it through most of the synopses because too often the films just sounded so damn conventional (…character drama! …European drama!! …FAMILY drama!!! fuck)—I’m supporting it for the film-ishness alone. Hopefully CIFF doesn’t continue this descent into narrative-Hollywoodism in future years…
